Forested suburban streets and river valley parks slope down from the northwest into neat suburbs and urban street blocks in the southeast. The whole neighborhood is bordered by the Wissahickon Creek and the Schuylkill River, so locals are always close to the waterfront. The residential landscape of East Falls features a range of classic Philadelphia twin and rowhomes, along with a smattering of larger single-family houses. Vibrant-colored facades and ample street parking are some of the perks of East Falls' row and twin homes, as well as being within a short distance of community amenities.

Prices range from $210,000 for a condo or twin home to $800,000 or more for large Colonial or Tudor-revival houses.
